Initial 2006.10/25 Patch Comments
The complete patch ain’t done yet, but enough has been downloaded for me to play. Here are some initial comments.
I wasn’t able to maximize being able to place the henchmen yet. I didn’t do anything complicated for me to need it, but I should be useful if I decide to do harder tasks on my own.
The skill template is an absolute blast! I already configured some of my more common templates for my Ele and Rit, and I noticed that I had a lot more configurations for my Rit. My Rit is really flexible, he can spike, he can support, he can be a Minion Bomber, and he can go Resto. I’ll definitely move my Rit along in Prophecies, the same way my Ele is moving along if Factions.
One of the configurations I’m trying with my Rit is to maximize the Channeling/spiking capabilities. I noticed that my energy management was a tad off, I guess I got so used to the large energy capacity from my Ele that I forget that not all casters have that much energy. Given this, I’m gonna consider putting put some energy management tweaks to some builds.
I’ll keep y’all posted.
Tags: Guild Wars2006.10/25 Guild Wars Patch
Just because I haven’t played Guild Wars all day doesn’t mean that I won’t play it all day ;). Apparently, they have a HUGE patch today, I I’ll just let the patch download while I bum around. (If I knew this earlier, I would’ve activated the patch downloading earlier, particularly during lunch, oh well).
Among the more significant changes:
- Preparation for the Halloween events (this will be temporary, though)
- Skill and Equipment templates (this will go a long way in switching modes)
- Equipment balance changes (20% recharge now affects all spells, not just a specific attribute!)
- Henchmen controls and updated AI
- Skill balance changes (of big note to me personally are changes to Assassins and Elementalists)
Strangely, any skill changes to Ritualists were not mentioned (maybe there weren’t any?).
Now, I’ll just relax and let the patch download a while.
See you in Tyria! 
Lazy Day (just the way I like it!)
Can you believe that it’s already the afternoon and I haven’t played any Guild Wars at all yet?! Well, after defeating the Lich and Shiro, I do need a little breather.
Most of the morning, I spent on non-game related activities, as well as a little Triplejack Poker on the side. Funny thing is, I’m learning a lot about myself as I observe how I play, and how my goals change when I play. I think these small realizations will pay off in the future somehow.
After another post, I’ll just sit back and read, perhaps I can pull off finishing “Flags of Our Fathers” before the movie comes out in the Philippines.
